Sixty Glorious Years is an exercise in the creation of iconography, both for Victoria and its star, Anna Neagle (who subsequently became known as 'Regal Neagle'). Just as Elizabeth I commissioned artists to create flattering iconic images for public consumption, so this film performs a similar function, for Neagle is more beautiful than the real life Victoria. Controversial events (such as the 'Irish problem') are omitted and unpleasant aspects of Victoria's character (her petulance, arrogance, favouritism and 'right to privilege') are glossed over as endearing little 'whims'. Albert acts as a moderating influence when she goes too far.
The film followed a year after the highly successful Victoria the Great (d. Herbert Wilcox, 1937). Again the screenplay is by Miles Malleson and Robert Vansittart, and many of the supporting cast (the cream of acting talent of period) repeat their roles, this time for the colour cameras. This was the first full length Technicolor film of cinematographer Freddie Young, who captures the spectacle of royal weddings, grand balls and opulent interiors, with scenes actually filmed at royal palaces. Vivid battle scenes, set in Alexander Korda's empire territory (Sevastopol and the Sudan), rival those in The Four Feathers (d. Zoltan Korda 1939).
The title music sets the tone: a regal choir sings over a shot of the crown. Elgar's 1901 'Pomp and Circumstance' march is heard during the diamond jubilee celebrations and, as Victoria's coffin lies in state, the film concludes with Anthony Collins' stately music accompanied by the text of Rudyard Kipling's 'Lest we forget'. Combined with the emotional appeal of scenes of Victoria connecting with her 'ordinary folk', this is stirring stuff.
The film connects with contemporary events of 1938. The release of two celebratory royal films was intended to boost public affection for the monarchy in the wake of Edward VIII's abdication. Anglo-German relations were another touchy subject. With another war on the horizon, influential voices wanted appeasement, and the film could be seen to fit that agenda. Victoria herself was of mainly German descent, nicknamed 'the grandmother of Europe', while Albert is a 'good German', charmingly played by Anton Walbrook as a cultured, decent man.
Sixty Glorious Years now seems unduly formal and reverential. Had movies existed during Victoria's reign (they only emerged at the end) this might have been the kind of film produced. Unlike Mrs Brown (d. John Madden, 1997), it is all so very 'Victorian'.

这人性刻画的还行，就是为啥不敲一点下来先走
万万没想到男主居然是当年歌舞青春的小鲜肉！天呐！！全程烂脸妆，真是太惨了，突破自我咩这是。故事一般，本来决定留下来也不懂为啥，为了剧情，被队友阴也是正常的，是我我也阴他。只不过坏人最后还被射杀，黄雀在后啊~
我是推荐这个片子的。男主军人膝盖受伤药物治疗积极锻炼身体，换了领导却因为男主服用违禁药物辞退了他，退休金福利都没有了。为了付账单为了家庭能更好的生活去干了自己不想干的私人军事项目。男主以为是任务是“国家安全”却发现是杀害研究病毒疫苗的科学家，最后还要当作被消耗的弃子让他们自相残杀。
互不信任与人为财死的故事，设定有些简单粗暴。此地无银三百两了。
剧情设定很讨喜，人性的挣扎很是亮眼，结局落了俗套。
有模有样，但又似是而非。故事套路严重，动作场面设计中规中矩。最终的决战简直惨不忍睹。。。
人为财死，鸟为食亡。茫茫大漠，从天而降的巨大金矿，你该怎么办？一个能精彩的点，但是没有完成一个精彩的故事。
比较同意把这个长片缩短，叙事更高效一点，现在成片节奏拖得太慢啦，不过极简+末世废土的影像风格深得我心，让男主被大自然淘汰这招真阴呐…
内容过于单薄，撑不起一个长片，拍成短片会好些。
美版《所有邪佞之人》，顶级的枪战片段、不知所云的剧情
看来大家短评都有同感，前半部铺垫实在不错，后来生硬的转折，派恩什么事情都照规矩办了，也没有任何反叛或者质疑，为啥就用完即弃？所以，这不是老套，这是敷衍！
近期一口气看完的佳作，埃夫隆是有野心的演员
挺好看的 就是逃跑过程有点假 后面追的人没了 隧道里的敌人没有通讯
剧情中规中矩，无惊无喜，结尾无反转无意外。
啥子都不行，完全一团糟，可能这就是普通人的人生吧
7分，在那种一望无际的沙漠里，夜晚的黑暗前所未有地浓重，对未知的恐惧被放大到极点，这时距离你50米内的任何动静都令人紧绷精神，这对于小成本的取巧设计很重要，比起花钱盖一栋闹鬼大宅来得有创意，可惜角色设定太扁平了，也没什么值得深挖的内涵，纯碎是沙漠里的丛林法则，那对姐妹的设定有点牵强，一个久经沙场的狩猎者，被一记闷棍拍死。
可以入选今年最喜欢的电影之一，配乐、调度、光影、演员、剪辑都很强大。片尾曲那么轻柔就更棒了。
冷色调，摄影是优势，一种末日荒凉感围绕，但成本又太小了，故事格局也不大，内容量也无法支撑90分钟，所以节奏就只能拖沓，导致废戏堆叠，看一半大概知道结尾会怎么推进，弱肉强食的荒凉之地，凭善心是要吃大亏，贪婪之欲又会直接葬送生命，不深刻却也有触目惊心的时刻，伺机窥探的狼群，暗地观察的伙伴，兽性和人性在那一刻并无二致，因果轮回冥冥之中也早已有了安排。★★
演技没问题，题材也好，人物妆容出色，但就是缺了点啥
小成本、简单故事、观众自行补充内容，挺好的
